The unidentified trader acted within minutes of Trump’s post, investing 1.09 million USDC to acquire 5.7 million TRUMP tokens through the Meteora marketplace. The transaction included an $85,000 premium payment to Jito, a Solana infrastructure provider specializing in MEV (Miner Extractable Value) services for expedited transaction processing.
